Important information
7
TFT Displays
The colors of the display may seem to vary when
viewed against a colored background or in colored
light. This is a perfectly normal effect that can
be seen with all color Thin Film Transistor (TFT)
displays.
Water ingress
Water ingress disclaimer
Although the waterproof rating capacity of this
product meets the stated IPX standard (refer to the
product’s Technical Specification), water intrusion
and subsequent equipment failure may occur if the
product is subjected to commercial high-pressure
washing. Raymarine will not warrant products
subjected to high-pressure washing.
Disclaimers
This product (including the electronic charts) is
intended to be used only as an aid to navigation. It
is designed to facilitate use of official government
charts, not replace them. Only official government
charts and notices to mariners contain all the current
information needed for safe navigation, and the
captain is responsible for their prudent use. It is
the user’s responsibility to use official government
charts, notices to mariners, caution and proper
navigational skill when operating this or any other
Raymarine product. This product supports electronic
charts provided by third party data suppliers which
may be embedded or stored on memory card. Use
of such charts is subject to the supplier’s End-User
Licence Agreement included in the documentation
for this product or supplied with the memory card
(as applicable).
Raymarine does not warrant that this product is
error-free or that it is compatible with products
manufactured by any person or entity other than
Raymarine.
This product uses digital chart data, and electronic
information from the Global Positioning System
(GPS) which may contain errors. Raymarine does
not warrant the accuracy of such information and
you are advised that errors in such information may
cause the product to malfunction. Raymarine is not
responsible for damages or injuries caused by your
use or inability to use the product, by the interaction
of the product with products manufactured by others,
or by errors in chart data or information utilized by
the product and supplied by third parties.
Memory cards and chart cards
MicroSD memory cards can be used to back up /
archive data (e.g. Waypoint, and Tracks). Once
data is backed up to a memory card old data can
be deleted from the system, creating capacity for
8
new data. The archived data can be retrieved at any
time. Chart cards provide additional or upgraded
cartography.
It is recommended that your data is backed up to a
memory card on a regular basis. Do NOT save data
to a memory card containing cartography.
Compatible cards
The following types of MicroSD cards are compatible
with your display:
• Micro Secure Digital Standard-Capacity
(MicroSDSC)
• Micro Secure Digital High-Capacity (MicroSDHC)
Note:
• The maximum supported memory card capacity
is 32 GB.
• MicroSD cards must be formatted to use either
the FAT or FAT 32 file system format to enable
use with your MFD.
Speed class rating
For best performance it is recommended that you
use Class 10 or UHS (Ultra High Speed) class
memory cards.
Chart cards
Your product is pre-loaded with electronic charts
(worldwide base map). If you wish to use different
chart data, you can insert compatible chart cards into
the unit's memory card reader.
Use branded chart cards and memory cards
When archiving data or creating an electronic chart
card, Raymarine recommends the use of quality
branded memory cards. Some brands of memory
card may not work in your unit. Please contact
customer support for a list of recommended cards.
EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to
the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference
between equipment and minimize the effect such
interference could have on the performance of your
system
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC
performance is not compromised.
Note: In areas of extreme EMC interference,
some slight interference may be noticed on the
product. Where this occurs the product and the
source of the interference should be separated by
a greater distance.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend
that wherever possible:
• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to
it are:
– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment
transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g.
VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case
Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7
of SSB radios, the distance should be increased
to 7 ft (2 m).
– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar
beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed
to spread 20 degrees above and below the
radiating element.
• The product is supplied from a separate battery
from that used for engine start. This is important to
prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can
occur if the engine start does not have a separate
battery.
• Raymarine specified cables are used.
• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is
detailed in the installation manual.
Note: Where constraints on the installation
prevent any of the above recommendations,
always ensure the maximum possible separation
between different items of electrical equipment, to
provide the best conditions for EMC performance
throughout the installation
Warranty policy

CHIRP DownVisionTM overview
DownVisionTM produces a wide–angle side-to-side
beam and a thin fore-to-aft beam. The coverage of
the DownVisionTM beam is a water column directly
beneath and to the sides of the vessel.
DownVisionTM beam
D12777-2
DownVisionTM
is effective at lower vessel speeds. In
deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically
optimized to improve bottom lock and the detection of
moving objects (e.g. fish) in the wider water column.
The wide, thin beam produces clear target returns.
The use of CHIRP processing and a higher operating
frequency provide a more detailed image, making
it easier to identify bottom structures around which
fish may reside.

3.7 Selecting a location for the
transducer
3
This product is supplied with a transom mount
transducer. The guidelines below should be followed
when selecting a location for the transducer.
1
2
Note: The transducer is not suitable for mounting
on vessels where the transom is aft of the
propeller(s).
4
For best performance the transducer must be
installed in a location with the least turbulence and
aeration. The most effective way to determine this
is by checking the water flow around the transom
whilst underway.
• The transducer should be mounted close to
the keel (centreline) of the vessel, so that the
transducer remains fully submerged when the
vessel is turning.
• The transducer must be mounted a suitable
distance from the propeller(s) to avoid wake.
• For clockwise rotating propellers the transducer
should be mounted on the starboard side, for
anti-clockwise rotating propellers the transducer
should be mounted on the port side.

• Air trapped under the front of the vessel can travel
under the hull and appear as aeration aft.
• If installing on the step of a stepped transom,
allow sufficient room above the transducer for
transducer kick-up.
D12644-1
D12640-1
• On a twin engine vessel the transducer should be
mounted between the engines.
Note: Optimum transducer location will
vary depending on vessel type. Optimum
transducer height and angle should be obtained
by testing the transducer with the vessel in the
water before locking the transducer’s position.

3.8 Cable routing
3.9 Selecting a location for the display
Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable.
General location requirements
Important: To avoid interference, the cable must
be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna
cables as possible.
• The cable can be routed through or over the
transom.
• Check that the cable is long enough to reach
the equipment that it will be connected to. An
optional 4 m (13.1 ft) extension cable is available
if required.
• Ensure there is enough slack in the transducer
cable, at the transducer end, to allow the
transducer to pivot up and down.
• Secure the cable at regular intervals using the
supplied cable clips.
• Fill all transom mounting holes with marine-grade
sealant prior to tightening securing screws.
• Fill the transom cable hole with marine-grade
sealant after routing the cable (if routing through
the transom).
• Use the supplied escutcheon to cover over
the transom cable hole (if routing through the
transom).
• Any excess cable can be coiled up at a convenient
location.
When selecting a location for the unit it is important
to consider a number of factors.
Ventilation requirements
To provide adequate airflow:
• Ensure that equipment is mounted in a
compartment of suitable size.
• Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
• Ensure adequate separation of equipment.
Mounting surface requirements
Ensure units are adequately supported on a secure
surface. Do NOT mount units or cut holes in places
which may damage the structure of the vessel.
Cable routing requirements
Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows
proper routing and connection of cables:
• Minimum cable bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) is
required unless otherwise stated.
• Use cable supports to prevent stress on
connectors.
Electrical interference
Select a location that is far enough away from
devices that may cause interference, such as
motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers.
GPS location requirements
In addition to general guidelines concerning the
location of marine electronics, there are a number
of environmental factors to consider when installing
equipment with an internal GPS antenna.
Mounting location
• Above Decks mounting:
It is recommended that the display is mounted
above decks as this provides optimal GPS
performance.
• Below Decks mounting:
GPS performance may be less effective when
mounted below decks.
Vessel construction
The construction of your vessel can have an impact
on GPS performance. For example, the proximity
of heavy structures such as a structural bulkhead,
or the interior of larger vessels may result in a
reduced GPS signal. Before locating equipment
with an internal GPS antenna below decks, seek
professional assistance.
Prevailing conditions
The weather and location of the vessel can affect the
GPS performance. Typically calm clear conditions
provide for a more accurate GPS fix. Vessels at
extreme northerly or southerly latitudes may also
receive a weaker GPS signal. GPS antenna mounted
below decks will be more susceptible to performance
issues related to the prevailing conditions.

5.7 inch display product dimensions
When choosing a suitable location for the display
you should aim to maintain the maximum possible
distance between the display and any compasses.
Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft)
in all directions. However for some smaller vessels
it may not be possible to locate the display this far
away from a compass. In this situation, the following
figures provide the minimum safe distance that
should be maintained between the display and any
compasses.

4.8 Testing the transducer
4.9 Finishing the transducer mounting
Once the initial mounting procedures have been
carried out, the transducer must be tested prior to
finishing the mounting.
Once you have achieved optimum performance at
the desired vessel speeds the transducer must be
locked into position to finish the installation.
The testing should be carried out with your vessel in
the water, with a depth greater than 0.7 m (2.3 ft) but
less than the maximum depth limit of the system.
The Sonar application will be able to maintain
readings at depths greater than the DownVision
application.
Note: It may not always be possible to obtain
depth readings at higher speeds due to air bubbles
passing under the transducer.
1. Press and hold the Power button until a beep is
heard.
2. Complete the Start-up wizard settings.
3. Use the View switcher to open a view which
contains the Sonar or DownVision application.
If the unit is operating correctly the bottom should
be visible on-screen and the depth reading
displayed.
4. Start moving your vessel at a low speed and
ensure the depth reading and bottom are shown
and that you have a clear image on-screen.
5. Gradually increase the vessel speed up to your
usual cruising speed, whilst checking the display
if the image becomes poor, starts skipping or
missing the bottom then the transducer needs
to be adjusted.
6. Height and angle adjustments should be made in
small increments, and re-tested each time until
you obtain optimum performance.
7. To adjust the angle of the transducer loosen the
pivot bolt approximately 3 turns and then pivot
the transducer either up or down.
8. Re-tighten the pivot bolt before re-testing.
9. When you achieve optimum performance at
the desired vessel speeds you can finish the
transducer mounting.
Note: If the transducer requires repositioning
ensure all old holes are filled with marine grade
sealant.
1. Loosen the kick-up adjustment screw.
2. Lift up the transducer and bracket pivot arm to
gain access to the mounting holes.
3. Drill the locking hole location taking care not to
damage the mounting bracket.
4. Fill the locking hole with marine grade sealant.
5. Secure the transducer and bracket by fully
tightening all 3 mounting screws.
6. Push the transducer and pivot arm down until it
clicks into position.
7. Re-tighten the kick-up adjustment screw to the
desired level.
Note: The Kick-up adjustment screw needs to be
tight enough to prevent kick-up during high speeds
but loose enough to enable the kick-up feature
to activate if an object hits the transducer when
underway.
Note: It may be necessary to make several
adjustments to the transducer before obtaining
optimum performance.

6.4 Satellite-based navigation
Depth Offset
Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea
bed, but you can apply an offset value to the depth
data, so that the displayed depth reading represents
the depth to the sea bed from either the keel or the
waterline.
Before attempting to set a waterline or keel
offset, find out the vertical separation between the
transducer and either the waterline or the bottom of
the keel on your vessel, as appropriate. Then set the
appropriate depth offset value.

1. Sky view
2. Satellite status
3. Position and fix information
Sky view
Sky view is a visual representation that shows
the position of navigation satellites and their type.
Satellite types are:
• Circle — A circle identifies a satellite from the
GPS constellation.
• Square — A square identifies an (SBAS)
differential satellite.
• * Diamond — A diamond identifies a satellite from
the GLONASS constellation.
Note: Not applicable to Dragonfly® products.
Satellite status area
The Satellite status area displays the following
information about each satellite:
• Type — Identifies which constellation the satellite
belongs to.
• ID — Displays the satellites identification number.
• CNO (Carrier-to-noise ratio) — Displays the signal
strength of each satellite shown in the Sky view:
– Grey = searching for satellite
– Green = satellite in use
– Orange = tracking satellite
• Azimuth and Elevation — Provides the angle of
elevation and azimuth between the location of the
receiver and the satellite.
Position and fix information
The following positional and fix information is
provided:
• Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP)
— HDOP is a measure of satellite navigation
Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7
accuracy, calculated from a number of factors
including satellite geometry, system errors in
the data transmission and system errors in the
receiver. A higher figure signifies a greater
positional error. A typical receiver has an accuracy
of between 5 and 15 m. As an example, assuming
a receiver error of 5 m, an HDOP of 2 would
represent an error of approximately 15 m. Please
remember that even a very low HDOP figure is
NO guarantee that your receiver is providing an
accurate position. If in doubt, check the displayed
vessel position in the Chart application against
your actual proximity to a known charted object.
• Estimated Horizontal Position Error (EHPE)
— EHPE is a measure of the estimated error of
a position fix in the horizontal plane. The value
displayed indicates that your position is within a
circle radius of the stated size 50% of the time.
• Fix status — indicates the actual mode the
receiver is reporting:
You should see:
Your vessel position (indicates a GPS fix).
Your current position is represented by a vessel
symbol or solid circle. Your position is also
displayed in the data cell on the bottom right of
the display.
A solid circle on the chart indicates that the vessel
speed is to low (i.e. less than 0.15 kts) to provide
Course Over Ground (COG) data.
Note: It is recommended that you check the
displayed vessel position in the Chart application
against your actual proximity to a known charted
object. GPS receivers typically have an accuracy
of between 5 m and 15 m.
Note: A GPS Status screen is available from the
Tools & Settings page. This provides satellite
signal strength and other relevant information.
– Fix — Satellite fix has been acquired.
– No Fix — No satellite fix can be acquired.
– D Fix — A differential beacon fix has been
acquired.
– SD Fix — A differential satellite fix has been
acquired.
• Position — Displays the latitude and longitude
position of your receiver.
• Date / Time — Displays the current date and time
generated by the position fix in UTC format .
• Mode — Identifies wether the receiver is working
in differential mode or non-differential mode.
• Datum — The receiver's datum setting affects
the accuracy of the vessel position information
displayed in the Chart application. In order for your
receiver and MFD to correlate accurately with your
paper charts, they must be using the same datum.

8.2 Electronic charts overview
Your multifunction display includes basic world
base maps. Electronic charts provide additional
cartographic information.
The level of cartographic detail shown varies for
different chart types, geographic locations and chart
scales. The chart scale in use is indicated by the
on-screen scale indicator, the value displayed is the
distance that the line represents across the screen.
You can remove and insert chart cards at any time.
The chart screen is automatically redrawn when the
system detects that a compatible chart card has
been inserted or removed.
Using a dual view page it is possible to display
different cartography types simultaneously.
Raster charts are an exact copy / scan of an existing
paper chart. All information is embedded directly in
the chart. Ranging in and out of raster charts will
make everything appear larger or smaller on the
screen, including text. When changing the Chart
application’s orientation everything on the chart will
rotate, including the text. As raster charts are a
scanned image the file size is normally bigger when
compared to the vector equivalent.
Vector charts
Caution: Care of chart and memory
cards
To avoid irreparable damage to and / or
loss of data from chart and memory cards:
• DO NOT save data or files to a card
containing cartography as the charts
may be overwritten.
• Ensure that chart and memory cards
are fitted the correct way around. DO
NOT try to force a card into position.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such
as a screwdriver or pliers to insert or
remove a chart or memory card.
LightHous e
CHARTS
Vector charts are computer generated, consisting
of a series of points and lines that make up the
chart. Chart objects and overlays on vector charts
can be switched on and off and chart objects can
be selected to provide further information. Ranging
in and out of vector charts will make geographical
features appear larger or smaller on the screen,
however text and chart objects will remain the same
size regardless of range. When changing the Chart
application’s orientation geographical features will
rotate but text and chart objects will remain in the
correct orientation for the display. As vector charts
are generated rather than a scanned image the file
size is normally smaller when compared to the raster
equivalent.

10.1 Sonar application overview
Determining target depths.
The Sonar application uses the internal sonar
module and a DownVision™ transducer to produce
a detailed view of fish and the bottom under your
vessel, enabling you to accurately distinguish
between different sizes of fish, bottom structure, and
underwater obstacles. The Sonar application uses
CHIRP processing with a centered 200 KHz ping
frequency, which provides less detail but greater
depth range than the DownVision™ application.
The Sonar application displays a scrolling image
which scrolls from right to left across the screen.
The Sonar application uses different colors to
differentiate between target strengths. Colors used
are dependent upon the color palette in use (for
example the classic blue color palette uses blue to
identify the weakest and red for the strongest).

Description
1
A hard bottom (sand) produces a thin line.
2
A soft bottom (mud or seaweed cover) produces
a wide line.
3
A rocky or uneven bottom or a wreck produces
an irregular image with peaks and troughs.
The dark layers indicate a good echo; the lighter
areas indicate weaker echoes. This could mean that
the upper layer is soft and therefore allowing sound
waves to pass to the more solid layer below.
It is also possible that the sound waves are making
two complete trips – hitting the bottom, bouncing off
the vessel, then reflecting off the bottom again. This
can happen if the water is shallow or the bottom is
hard.

Factors influencing the sonar image
10.2 Sonar application controls
The quality and accuracy of the display can be
influenced by a number of factors including vessel
speed, depth, object size and background noise.
The Sonar applications consists of 2 modes:
Scrolling mode and Cursor mode. The behavior of
some controls are dependent upon mode. Options
and settings can also be accessed from the Sonar
context menu.
Scrolling mode
Vessel speed
The shape of the target changes along with your
speed. Slower speeds return flatter, more horizontal
marks. Higher speeds cause the target to thicken
and arch slightly, at fast speeds the mark resembles
a double vertical line.
Target depth
The closer the target to the surface, the larger the
mark on screen.
The depth of individual targets can be displayed by
switching on the Target Depth ID in the sonar menu
Menu > Display Options. The number of target
depths displayed is influenced by the fish alarm
sensitivity level.
Water depth
As water depth increases signal strength decreases,
resulting in a lighter on-screen image of the bottom.
Size of the target
The larger the target, the larger the return on-screen.
The size of a fish target is also dependent upon the
size of the fish’s swim bladder rather than its overall
size. The swim bladder varies in size between
different breeds of fish.
Clutter / Background noise
The sonar image may be impaired by echoes
received from floating or submerged debris,
particulate matter (such as plankton, phytoplankton,
or silt etc.), air bubbles or even the vessel's
movement. This is known as ‘background noise’ or
‘clutter’ and is controlled by the Sensitivity settings.
If required you can adjust the setting manually.
Scrolling mode is the default mode for the Sonar
application. In Scrolling mode a rolling image is
displayed which scrolls from right to left across the
screen.
In Scrolling mode the controls behave as follows:
• with Range set to Manual, turning the Rotary
control clockwise and anti-clockwise ranges in
and out.
• pressing the Joystick’s Ok button opens the
application menu.
• pressing the Back button opens the View
switcher.
• moving the Joystick in any direction enters
Cursor mode.
Cursor mode
In Cursor mode the scrolling image is paused and
the cursor can be moved around the screen.
In Cursor mode the controls behave as follows:
• with Range set to Manual, turning the Rotary
control clockwise and anti-clockwise ranges in
and out.
• moving the Joystick in any direction moves the
cursor around the screen.
• pressing the Joystick’s Ok button opens the
context menu.
• pressing the Back button returns the application
to Scrolling mode.
Sonar application
75
Menus and dialogs
10.3 Range
With a menu or dialog open the controls behave as
follows:
The Range and Range Shift functions enable you
to change the range of depth displayed on-screen.
Changes to the Range and Range shift will apply to
both the Sonar and DownVision applications.
• The Rotary control or the Joystick can be used
to scroll through the menu available options.
• Pressing the Joystick’s Ok button selects the
highlighted option or confirms and dismisses pop
up messages.
• pressing the Back button returns to the previous
menu or closes the menu.

Sonar context menu
The Sonar application includes a context menu
which provides data and shortcuts to menu items.
Range
The Range function enables you to define the range
of depth that you see on-screen.
By default, the range is set to automatic, this adjusts
the range to ensure the bottom is always displayed
on-screen. This is useful for locating bigger fish and
other objects located closer to the bottom such as
wrecks
There may be circumstances in which you want
to see a more detailed image showing less depth
beneath your vessel. This is useful for finding
smaller fish that feed nearer the surface
Range Shift
The Range Shift function enables you to define
which area of the overall depth you want to be able
to see on-screen. For example, if your range is 250
feet and the display is showing the surface (0 feet)
at the very top of the display, and 250 feet at the
bottom of the display, you can use the Range Shift
function to focus on a different 250 feet range. For
example, 20 feet at the very top of the screen, and
270 feet at the very bottom of the screen.
Changing the depth range
You can choose from either:
• Automatic adjustment whereby the display
automatically shows the shallowest required
range.
The context menu provides the data for the position
of the cursor:
• Depth

10.5 Sensitivity adjustments
Settings can be adjusted using the application menu
to enhance the image that is displayed on-screen.
Sensitivity options are:
• Sensitivity
• Contrast
• Noise Filter
• Color Palette
Sensitivity
The Sensitivity setting alters the way background
noise (also called clutter) is processed. Adjusting the
setting can improve the image, however for optimum
performance in most conditions, it is recommended
that you use the auto setting.
The Sensitivity setting adjusts the return threshold
(echo strength) at which an object will be displayed
on-screen.
The Sensitivity setting can be set to automatic or
adjusted manually:
• Automatic — In Auto mode, the setting is
automatically adjusted to suit current conditions.
Any adjustments made apply to all views using
that application.
• Manual — If necessary you can set the sensitivity
setting manually, between a value of 0% to 100%.
The higher the setting the more detail will appear
on-screen. This value should be set high enough
to see fish and bottom detail but without too much
background noise. Generally a higher setting is
used in deep and/or clear water; a low setting in
shallow and/or murky water.
The Contrast setting can be set to automatic or
adjusted manually:
• Automatic — In Auto mode the contrast setting is
automatically adjusted to suit current conditions.
Any adjustments made apply to all views.
• Manual — You can set the contrast manually,
between a value of 0% to 100%.
The new values remain set even when you switch off
the display, they are applied to both the active view
and any other views containing the same application.

strength threshold for the strongest color / shading.
Contrast sets the lower limit for the strongest echo
color / shade. All echoes with a signal strength
above this value are displayed in the strongest color
/ shade. Those with a weaker value are divided
equally between the remaining colors / shades.
• Setting a low value produces a wide band for the
weakest color / shade, but a small signal band for
the other colors / shades.

11.1 DownVision™ application
overview
DownVision™
The
application uses the internal
sonar module and a DownVision™ transducer to
produce a detailed structure view of the bottom
under your vessel, enabling you to accurately
distinguish bottom structure, and underwater
obstacles. DownVision™ uses CHIRP processing
with a centered 350 KHz ping frequency, which
provides greater detail than the Sonar application.

on-screen. This is useful for locating bigger fish and
other objects located closer to the bottom such as
wrecks
There may be circumstances in which you want
to see a more detailed image showing less depth
beneath your vessel. This is useful for finding
smaller fish that feed nearer the surface
Range Shift
The Range Shift function enables you to define
which area of the overall depth you want to be able
to see on-screen. For example, if your range is 250
feet and the display is showing the surface (0 feet)
at the very top of the display, and 250 feet at the
bottom of the display, you can use the Range Shift
function to focus on a different 250 feet range. For
example, 20 feet at the very top of the screen, and
270 feet at the very bottom of the screen.
Changing the depth range
You can choose from either:
• Automatic adjustment whereby the display
automatically shows the shallowest required
range.
• Manual adjustment of the depth range, up to
the maximum depth allowed by the Fishfinder
application.

11.5 Sensitivity adjustments
Settings can be adjusted using the application menu
to enhance the image that is displayed on-screen.
Sensitivity options are:
• Sensitivity
• Contrast
• Noise Filter
• Color Palette
Sensitivity
The Sensitivity setting alters the way background
noise (also called clutter) is processed. Adjusting the
setting can improve the image, however for optimum
performance in most conditions, it is recommended
that you use the auto setting.
The Sensitivity setting adjusts the return threshold
(echo strength) at which an object will be displayed
on-screen.
The Sensitivity setting can be set to automatic or
adjusted manually:
• Automatic — In Auto mode, the setting is
automatically adjusted to suit current conditions.
Any adjustments made apply to all views using
that application.
• Manual — If necessary you can set the sensitivity
setting manually, between a value of 0% to 100%.
The higher the setting the more detail will appear
on-screen. This value should be set high enough
to see fish and bottom detail but without too much
background noise. Generally a higher setting is
used in deep and/or clear water; a low setting in
shallow and/or murky water.
The new values remain set even when you switch off
the display and are applied to all views.
Adjusting sensitivity
From the application menu:
1. Select Adjust Sonar or Adjust DownVision.
2. Select Sensitivity.
3. Use the Rotary control to adjust the sensitivity
to the required value, or
4. Press the OK button to switch to Auto mode.
A tick is displayed in the Auto box to signify auto

strength threshold for the strongest color / shading.
Contrast sets the lower limit for the strongest echo
color / shade. All echoes with a signal strength
above this value are displayed in the strongest color
/ shade. Those with a weaker value are divided
equally between the remaining colors / shades.
• Setting a low value produces a wide band for the
weakest color / shade, but a small signal band for
the other colors / shades.
• Setting a high value gives a wide band for the
strongest color / shade, but a small signal band for
the other colors / shades.
86

— HDOP is a measure of satellite navigation
accuracy, calculated from a number of factors

• Datum — The receiver's datum setting affects
the accuracy of the vessel position information
displayed in the Chart application. In order for your
receiver and MFD to correlate accurately with your
paper charts, they must be using the same datum.
COG/SOG Filter
The COG/SOG filter averages the velocity vectors to
compensate for the oscillating motion of the vessel,
giving a clearer indication of the vessel’s course and
speed.
The filter does not affect the calculation of your
receiver’s reported position. The velocity vectors
calculated from the signal provide an instantaneous
measure of speed and direction of the receiver. The
COG and SOG can therefor seem erratic under
certain conditions. For example, when a vessel is
moving slowly through rough seas, the receiver
moves from side to side as well as in the direction
of travel.
Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough
seas will benefit from a high setting, whereas a
power boat that can quickly change speed and
direction will benefit from a low setting.

and tear.
• Check that all cables are securely connected.
Cleaning the display case
The display unit is a sealed unit and does not require
regular cleaning. If it is necessary to clean the unit,
follow this basic procedure:
1. Switch off the power to the display.
2. Wipe the display with a clean, soft cloth (a
microfibre cloth is ideal).
3. If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove
grease marks.
Note: Do NOT use solvents or detergents on the
screen itself.
Note: In certain conditions, condensation may
appear inside the display screen. This will not
harm the unit, and can be cleared by powering on
the display for a short time.
Cleaning the display screen
A coating is applied to the display screen. This
makes it water repellent, and prevents glare. To
avoid damaging this coating, follow this procedure:
1. Switch off the power to the display.
2. Rinse the screen with fresh water to remove all
dirt particles and salt deposits.
3. Allow the screen to dry naturally.
4. If any smears remain, very gently wipe the screen
with a clean microfibre cleaning cloth (available
from an opticians).

13.3 Transducer cleaning
Growth can collect on the bottom of the transducer,
this can reduce performance. To prevent the build
up of sea growth, coat the transducer with a thin
layer of water based antifouling paint, available from
your local marine dealer. Reapply paint every 6
months or at the beginning of each boating season.
Certain smart transducers have restrictions on where
antifouling paint is applied. Please consult your
dealer.
Note: Transducers with a temperature sensor may
not work properly if painted.
Note: Never use ketone based paint. Ketones
can attack many plastics possibly damaging the
sensor.
Note: Never use spray paint on your transducer.
Spraying incorporates tiny air bubbles, and a
marine transducer cannot transmit properly
through air.
Use a soft cloth and mild household detergent to
clean the transducer. If the fouling is severe, remove
the growth with a green scotch briteTM pad. Be
careful to avoid scratching the transducers face.
If your transducer has a paddlewheel you can wet
sand with fine grade wet/dry paper.
Note: Harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone
may damage the transducer.
